Things to avoid when iPhone speaker gets wet

Your iPhone speaker gets wet when you accidentally drop your device in water. When trying to save a wet smartphone or tablet, you might immediately think of the method people use to dry their devices by placing them in rice.

However, that's a mistake. In fact, the tiny particles can get into your iPhone and cause further damage. That's just one of the reasons you shouldn't use rice to dry your iPhone . Also, don't use your iPhone until it's completely dry.

If this isn’t a serious case, the Water Eject shortcut, the Sonic app, or the Fix My Speaker site will easily help you get water out of your iPhone speaker. In the future, remember that your iPhone is only water-resistant, not waterproof, so you shouldn’t submerge it in the pool, drop it in the sink, or expose it to other water-based activities.

Unfortunately, if your iPhone is already showing symptoms of water damage, it's best to take it to an Apple Store or a reputable service center nearby for hardware repairs.
